Two characters mentioned on Just Me have been cut off from my life permanently.
I am pretty sure they wouldn't care enough to make amends.
Hence the finality of permanently.
They were the closest people to me in my uni days over a decade ago.
We've constantly kept in touch.
They know of my sexuality.
And because they did, I was naïve to believe they weren't inflicted with heterosexism. If not to champion cause, at least to defend the portion of society I belong to.
A random comment on popular social media tore my heart and led to blood curdling, hand shaking, tear jerking anger.
A comment left by a friend of yours truly aka a character on Just Me.
It eventually led to a virtual confrontation wherein another chimed in to support the former's views.
I would have called the person but he didn't live in a situation where a call was expressly possible. Wait, let me rephrase that. He lived in a situation where a call is more likely to go unanswered than attended to.
And because I am too old to deal with blatant homophobia I cut them off of my life.
Changes have been made under "About J and Just Me", under the subsection "The Characters on Just Me (Lesser Mentioned)" linked below.

It is a lesson that people are expendable for a multitude of reasons and the ones that keep are the ones to treasure.
